The Sturdy Tarp Handle

Online, April 23, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Lawn maintenance and landscaping jobs require exhausting effort. Hauling leaves, branches, mulch, lawn clippings or any type of yard debris, can be back-breaking and frustrating. Also, getting the debris onto a tarp and then transporting it can be awkward and cumbersome. Now there is a simple tool that can help in hauling a loaded tarp with one hand and give a grip on the tarp that the tarp itself does not offer. A simple, yet exceptionally sturdy hand tool, the Tarp Handle makes the hauling of a loaded tarp both faster and easier. It is ideal for use in a variety of lawn-maintenance and landscaping applications. Where materials and debris are collected and transported on a tarp, the Tarp Handle is the tool to use. It lasts a lifetime, paying for itself many times over in the time and labor saved.

The Tarp Handle is a six inch section of round steel stock, one inch in diameter, to which is welded a smaller-diameter, steel-rod with a rectangular bracket that extends three inches down from the bottom of the handle and runs almost the entire length. The bottom of this rectangular bracket has a centered eye-strap, also of welded steel, and the eye-strap supports a freely articulating, round steel hook. The steel stock handle can be equipped with a foam or rubber grip for more comfortable handling. The Tarp Handle can be produced in stainless steel, in chrome-vanadium steel, or in galvanized steel. Televised test marketing has been completed indicating exceptional consumer interest in the Tarp Handle.

The Patent Pending Tarp Handle was invented by Barry Fernandes of Harwich, MA, who said, "To use the Tarp Handle, one loads the tarp as desired. Then, using the five eyelets or grommeted holes on the seven-foot side of a 7x9 tarp, slip the hook of the Tarp Handle first into the center hole, then the two eyelets on either side and then the two outside eyelets. The tarp is now secured with its outside corners uppermost in the hook to center the load. The tarp is now ready for hauling."
